Alabama Weekend is in the books! Travers week is here.
Without a doubt a fantastic time up here so far. I will likely miss someone but trackjohn, Roger, Jerry, FrankD, Topcat, Sean, and Uncle Bill among several others including a lurker or two. If I missed someone my apologies.
Some hilarious things have happened. Handicapping has been pretty darn solid with a couple of 2nd\'s that cost a score or two.
An item or two worth laughing about include:
Learning about the Wayne Lukas of Turkey;
That British accented trainers might not be beyond a trick or two;
That Maggie\'s husband is likely the best first out trainer on the grounds as he was able to land a first date with her and close the deal (Big props to the one that made this quote at the seminar).
Uncle Bill has been providing treats for everyone esp on Sunday although I\'ll leave it at that.....(inside joke);
And it was noted that Mike Maker is so good he could move Uncle Bill forward 2 points first off the claim;
Alan, we are waiting on you and hope you are ready for us!
I left out much of the banter and fun; if you want to know more, you should come see it to believe it at Uncle Bill\'s Camp TG. Rocky, MikeD, belmont3 are all expected for Travers weekend!! Weather is looking good but the experts trackjohn and FrankD can confirm.
Finally, a big thanks to the ones that let me use a Clubhouse Seat for the races Sunday; wow, what a view!! It is very much appreciated guys. Seriously, thanks for everything esp to Uncle Bill and FrankD.
Nice update Richie,
It was great to see everyone.
Big Props to Uncle Bill who goes above and beyond making sure we all have seats and we are all well fed (great chicken sandwiches). Also thanks to FrankD for the cold Heineken which is great on hot days.
If you have never been, it is truly worth the trip...I was there 4 days and probably saw 4 races live. The camaraderie in the back yard is second to none.
Hope to see as many of you as possible and glad to see Alan is up here this weekend, and if Richiebee makes it up the old band is back in town with the rest of cast of TG players previously mentioned.
I’m here for two weeks - golf anyone?
